HR Software Acquisitions Continue as Infor Buys PeopleAnswers

I found it very interesting that this article stated that the greatest predictor of success is attitude, not just skill. I feel it is possible to teach most people with the right attitudes the skills needed for the job, if the potential employee fits in the company's culture. The HR department, in charge of finding the right people for the job may need to start looking at other avenues, not just what experience a person may have on a resume.
I do feel skill is important, however, as it is what you can actually do. I just feel that there may be more than that when considering a new hire.

What I find interesting is that this fantastic software requires the applicant to disclose their date of birth, which is in direct violation of the Age Discrimination Employment Act of 1967 specifically designed to protect those 40 and older from age discrimination, and also stores the applicant's social security number in their system, which is in violation of most privacy acts. If you are in the market for age discrimination and privacy violation, then this must be great software. When you contact the company, they will tell you that it is the employer. If that is indeed the case, then two wrongs must make it right.
